Another source has come out saying Ron Paul tinkering with 3rd party run.

[ClydeCoulter]

Came back for a moment to see if trolling was going on. Not disappointed.

Wonder if anyone saw this little tidbit on the FB page:

so we run him independent.

 

[sailingaway]

So even if we were able to get Paul to run third party and somehow poll above the 15% threshold in several national polls...will the people that run the debates even care? Neither Obama or Romney have any incentive to allow a third party into the debates. Call me a pessimist, but I see us getting burned again...

Even if that happened it would just open more eyes to BOTH of the parties, since the chairs of the debate committee are ex party chairs.

Maybe a law suit for fraud in conjunction would help.

Haven't read every page so this might have come up already, but does any think Ron may run simply to make Romney loose and get Rand the chance to run in 2016 vs 2020?

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

Like Ron said. The reason he is doing this is because of self-interest and not as a sacrifice.

He doesn't want to see his family's lives, children's lives, grand children's lives, great grand children's lives, great great grand children's lives be destroyed either by war or crushing debt.

An interesting take. Most pundits argue that we need the GOP to reward us with a Rand run. I don't think anybody buys that any-more.

So lets clear the decks of any potential Romney has.

I can't imagine anyone who knows Ron thinking that.

Some HERE might think it, but it isn't Ron's style.

Can we stop all this speculation about what his reason for running might or might not be, how it affects the Republican party, whether he gets into the debates, etc. Our job is to support Ron Paul and this stuff is not our concern. Have confidence.

I will be on the conference call but I'm a bit confused as to how things will work, I'm guessing it will be one-way with Ron Paul speaking? Because they can't have a conference call with hundreds of participants, no one would be able to hear each other.

 

[eleganz]

We were afraid of Mitt Romney's political A-bomb?

WE WERE THE A BOMB ALL ALONG. RON PAUL RUNNING THIRD PARTY MAKES ROMNEY NON-EXISTANT.

Nobody said Ron Paul was going to speak.

LOL ... they'd have to make room for more than 1,000, eh?

 

[zeloc]

I don't care who's speaking, maybe I didn't write it properly, what I meant was whether it would be one-way, as I don't see how a conference call is going to work with so many people.

 

[trey4sports]

Yo i'm ready to start chanting again!

 

[No1butPaul]

Me too!!!!!

PRESIDENT PAUL, PRESIDENT PAUL, PRESIDENT PAUL, PRESIDENT PAUL

The last one I was on that was big, was one way, but you can press a certain number to get into the que to say something or ask a question. Don't know if it will be like that this time though.

Let him speak!

 

[idiom]

Me too!!!!!

PRESIDENT PAUL, PRESIDENT PAUL, PRESIDENT PAUL, PRESIDENT PAUL

Okay... now everyone in the office is looking at me awkwardly...

Ah, I see, that makes sense.

I wonder if we should use the chat room here for simultaneous discussion? I'm afraid it will get chaotic with so many ppl though.

 

[kathy88]

1000 people will log in and someone will ask us all to mute our phones, and they will do the talking. Impossible to handle otherwise. Can you imagine 1000 of us all trying to speak at once. WTF? LOL.

 

[orenbus]

Ron Paul Flix guy says he just got off the phone with Doug Wead, and said that there is "zero percent chance" of Ron Paul running third party/independent, video link here:
